Frank Amato, the owner and publisher of STS, is interviewed by Lucas Holmgren about steelhead movement and reaction to water temperature, river flow and other factors. He speaks about Willamette River falls and how fish respond to high-velocity water. Southwest Washington Rivers like the Washougal, Wind River, Kalama and others are discussed and how summer steelhead behave in summer, late summer and early fall.  This is the first of many podcast interviews of anglers about salmon, steelhead and trout.

Steelhead Movement | Frank Amato Interview: Temperature, Flow & Pacific Ocean Patterns

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/113 I finally sat down and had a great chat with Frank Amato who is the brains behind Salmon Trout Steelhead magazine, the Fly Fishing and Tying Journal and about 300 books relating to fishing. We hear how Frank was a key player in protecting the Deschutes River.  We also hear about the Blue Jetboat Frank has had since 1980 and how he saved my butt after flipping int he river.  Hosted Fly Fishing Trips with Dave https://wetflyswing.com/destination  Show Notes with Frank Amato (Updated show notes time stamp and links: Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/113) Field and Stream was one of the only fishing magazines at the time in the country and the Fishing and Hunting News was the only magazine in the west at the time. Salmon Trout and Steelhead was started in the summer of 1967.  Now over 60 years going strong. I had Craig Schuhmann, the editor of FTJ - The Fly Fishing and Tying Journal, on the podcast in episode 101. Fly Fishers International influenced the creation of FTJ. Frank started by publishing the FFI magazine at the time and that morphed into FTJ. Magazine Circulation and Magazine Publication was the book that helped Frank start FTJ. Fly Fisherman magazine started in 1968. Steelhead Drift Fishing and Fly Fishing was the first book ever published by Frank Amato publishcations. Curtis Creek Manifesto is the highest selling book for Amato over the years. Frank noted the one man boat he loves.  I believe it's probably a watermaster? Vic Atiyeh was the governor who helped pass the protections for the Deschutes River. The Night Dancer is Frank's goto steelhead fly.  He also love the Renegade for trout.  You can reach Frank at Amato Books.  Resources Noted in the Show Steelhead Flies by John Shewey  Videos Noted in the Show  Conclusion with Frank Amato I had a great conversation with Frank Amato who is the founder of Salmon Trout Steelhead, the Fly Fishing and Tying Journal and tells us how it all evolved over the last 60 years.  Frank also had a big impact on protecting my home waters back when I was a kid.  Frank is the real deal so enjoy this one.
